For Own Purpose Central Committee Session Was Regular, Its Action . -r Official, Says Eaker; .The Polk county . democratic central committee late Monday through it rice-chairman, R. W. Baker, issued a formal statement of the committee's stand on CWA work. The statement follows: " "The ; meeting held at Dallas -was regularly called meeting of the Polk county 'democratic Cen tral committee and was not , a meeting of a few dlsgrontled dem ocrats. There being ; sy quorum of the committee present and the chairman being absent, the meet ing was called to order by R. W. Baker, Tice-chairman. Any ac tion of the Polk county democra tic central committee becomes the action of the democratic party in Polk county. (See Oregon Laws, Sees. 36V900 to 36-905). "What has caused so much of the tronble in the CWA is the fact that from the beginning it has been used by the republicans to play politics. Jobs hare been al lotted on the basis of political af filiation. Republicans being In charge and democrats hare been orerlooked. The statement in paragraph two is correct. Republicans In charge hare made a political foot ball out of the CWA and it is a nightmare right now. v "The criticisms offered at the Dallas meeting were neither un just nor unfair but both just and lair and warranted. The Polk county democratic central com mittee speaks ' for the democratic party in. Polk county. They were neither uninformed r misinform ed as to the manner In which the superriaors were selected. V 'The placing of foremen or workmen on projects ia not the duty of the county committee but Is the function of the county re employment officer, Mr. Black-ley- says Mr. FInseth. The fact of; the matter is that these fore men and workmen were all select ed before Mr. Blackley was ap pointed as re-employment officer. Mr. Blackley has nothing to do with the selection of foremen as the projects are submitted with the recommendations that certain men be appointed as foremen. An examination of their political af filiations will rerlfy the fact that there were few democrats chosen. "The job is Important and has ttn used by a few republicans in Polk county for furtherance of ttlr political ambitions and for !' "uccess of the republican par ty: The CWA is born of the demo cratic party and Is a democratic child, and Is being used in a demo-i cratic administration for the bene fit of the enemies of the democrat ic party. Polk county democrats nl the democratic party in Polk county through its central com mittee protest. "The Polk county democratic central committee was called to gether by Its chairman. The meet ing was regular. There being a quorum present. Its actions are of ficial and stand as the action of the party la this county. Mr Finseth bewails the fact that the democrats are trying to Inject politics into the working; of the CWA program in Polk county. We are sure Mr. FInseth has used the wrong word in regard to the matter, as what we are trying to do is to extract politics from the working of the program. 'If Mr." Finseth feels so sure that there has been no politics in the affair let him publish" the names of the original office force and the list of the projects, show ing whom are the superintendents and teremen on each job and gire the political registration of each Indiridual. Perhaps this will be enlightening to the general public.

Only interest payments are to be made during the first five years.

This would leave a balance of only $40,000. Gasoline taxes paid by tourists and others who would use the bridges If they were free would more 'than make' jap this difference.'
